SNL Alum Jorma Taccone Shatters Pelvis Falling From Ladder

Comedian and Saturday Night Live alum Jorma Taccone suffered a severe fall from a 20-foot ladder at his Connecticut farmhouse while hanging lights around a barn for his daughter's fifth birthday. Despite warnings about the ladder's poor condition, Taccone used it and described the terrifying moment it gave way beneath him, resulting in a fall that shattered his pelvis and detached his sacrum from his spine. He recounted the accident during a podcast episode from his hospital bed, explaining the pain and fear he experienced as he fell. Taccone underwent surgery and doctors expect a full recovery, though it will likely take three to six months before he can walk again. He expressed determination in fighting through the pain and has started acute rehab, with support from his Lonely Island collaborators. Taccone's resilience and humor remain intact as he recovers from this near-fatal incident.
